Liked it. I got it. I don't think Craig Lahiff then had the skills to pull it off, quite - or the budget. But I love its ambition, the Hitchcock riffs. I love it being set at an Adelaide Uni and the second wave feminism of its four leads being women. There's something endearing in that three gave off mature age student vibes. Penny Cook can look gorgeous but here was mumsy. Liddy Clarke was like a pot smoking single aunt. Olivia Hamnet was also mumsy. Anna Marie Winchester however was spot on - campy, big, scary.
I wish Lahiff had had a little extra money to do a blood and guts feature version. A hot guy or two might've helped - if onyl to have a red herring.
Opening murder well done - one long take. Other stuff is choppy. The tight budget hurt. But endearing.
